00:00:00--> 00:00:05

Awakening MEDIA presents the for Grady mams by Dr. He Sham our D.

00:00:35--> 00:00:35

Today

00:00:59--> 00:01:00

in society,

00:01:01--> 00:01:02

in this part,

00:01:04--> 00:01:08

we will examine the role of the model of

00:01:12--> 00:01:18

education in seeking knowledge, we will also look at the turning point in his life,

00:01:19--> 00:01:22

the same way that we discussed the turning points in the life of

00:01:26--> 00:01:26

man

00:01:28--> 00:01:28

This time

00:01:30--> 00:01:35

we have now the proper or some of the background to make us appreciate

00:01:39--> 00:01:39

and

00:01:41--> 00:01:43

discuss what I called the Great

00:01:44--> 00:01:47

the great meeting that happened

00:01:49--> 00:01:50

then we will discuss

00:01:56--> 00:01:57

what we call

00:02:00--> 00:02:01

what are we talking about?

00:02:13--> 00:02:13

Muhammad,

00:02:16--> 00:02:17

the son of

00:02:18--> 00:02:19

the son of

00:02:20--> 00:02:21

the son of

00:02:25--> 00:02:28

the son of the son of the son of

00:02:30--> 00:02:38

son, we carry on? Yes, let me carry on because there is a very important name that you should be aware of the son of

00:02:39--> 00:02:40

the son of

00:02:42--> 00:02:42

the Son,

00:02:45--> 00:02:47

this is the only scholar

00:02:49--> 00:02:56

that is related somehow to Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam and that is why he was

00:02:58--> 00:02:59

double

00:03:02--> 00:03:05

who was the first one it was learning

00:03:08--> 00:03:18

and the fact that he was given prominence in a society that appreciated Arabian and Hashemite, Venus's, so,

00:03:19--> 00:03:20

we are talking about

00:03:21--> 00:03:22

that's why

00:03:23--> 00:03:28

from some groups is venerated because of this defendant factor.

00:03:30--> 00:03:30

In contrast,

00:03:32--> 00:03:43

so far as we are concerned here in the West, we are not too much focusing on the defendant as much as focusing on the carrot. Because me I knew about hashemites but

00:03:44--> 00:03:46

I am not as some of you might not be.

00:03:48--> 00:03:49

But we can all

00:03:50--> 00:03:51

benefit from

00:03:53--> 00:03:55

his visitation and his love.

00:03:56--> 00:03:59

And he's traveling in his knowledge

00:04:02--> 00:04:03

is married

00:04:05--> 00:04:06

with two sons

00:04:07--> 00:04:08

and two daughters.

00:04:09--> 00:04:14

What is fascinating in the case of Russia is that you love the name Mohammed.

00:04:15--> 00:04:15

Mohammed

00:04:17--> 00:04:19

and his first son equals in

00:04:22--> 00:04:25

the cornea of His Son of man.

00:04:26--> 00:04:31

He was bred with another son. This what he was formed

00:04:35--> 00:04:37

and he was left with two motors

00:04:38--> 00:04:39

and

00:04:41--> 00:04:42

the physical appearance

00:04:45--> 00:04:45

Cool,

00:04:47--> 00:04:47

cool.

00:04:49--> 00:04:50

Dark

00:04:51--> 00:04:52

Finn

00:04:53--> 00:04:56

dyed his hair with red

00:04:59--> 00:04:59

handsome.

00:05:01--> 00:05:02

students and

00:05:03--> 00:05:04

students.

00:05:09--> 00:05:12

I have not seen a beautiful face as the face of

00:05:14--> 00:05:16

how did you use to dress modestly?

00:05:17--> 00:05:18

In contrast,

00:05:20--> 00:05:20

and

00:05:24--> 00:05:29

modesty, but also financial security in and shopping and

00:05:30--> 00:05:31

whatnot.

00:05:33--> 00:05:37

Mr. Malik began his life as opposed

00:05:39--> 00:05:40

to the extent

00:05:42--> 00:05:43

that he could not.

00:05:46--> 00:05:48

Today we're not going to talk about

00:05:49--> 00:05:55

but let me listen to his story in connection to dress and appearance and financial situation.

00:05:56--> 00:05:59

began his life as a poor person

00:06:02--> 00:06:11

sells his furniture, to make some money. And to the extent that he did not find money to feed his children, he wants to have a job.

00:06:14--> 00:06:18

Allah, for you don't know what is going on in your kingdom?

00:06:21--> 00:06:26

I don't know. I said, No, I don't think you do. You said, yeah.

00:06:27--> 00:06:29

Don't you in tonight,

00:06:30--> 00:06:32

when you try to

00:06:33--> 00:06:47

drink a ton of water and boil the water and say to them, that dinner will be ready to him. And they cry out in one go until they sleep. And you don't have food in the house.

00:06:50--> 00:06:51

To realize that

00:06:52--> 00:07:07

attorneys are based in Baghdad and a scholar based in Medina. He gets the news, no internet, no nothing. But Abu Jafar was aware of everything. This is a powerful leader that was aware of

00:07:35--> 00:07:36

income was based on

00:07:37--> 00:07:38

salaries,

00:07:46--> 00:07:50

was born wealthy, he grew up wealthy and he died well.

00:07:59--> 00:07:59

He might have

00:08:01--> 00:08:03

some somebody's got

00:08:07--> 00:08:07

a poor,

00:08:15--> 00:08:15

poor

00:08:17--> 00:08:18

poor.

00:08:20--> 00:08:22

Imagine a shopping dress

00:08:24--> 00:08:24

modestly.

00:08:26--> 00:08:27

He would address

00:08:29--> 00:08:33

garments made of linen and cotton

00:08:34--> 00:08:35

in Boston,

00:08:37--> 00:08:37

and he would wait

00:08:40--> 00:08:41

most of the time.

00:08:42--> 00:08:46

But as a senior that wanted to preserve his image as a Hashemite

00:08:47--> 00:08:50

he would wear the turban, the turban

00:08:52--> 00:08:54

was a statement at that time.

00:08:57--> 00:09:01

You wanted to decrease that proceeds were a sell tap

00:09:03--> 00:09:05

any proceeds go for anything on your head.

00:09:07--> 00:09:27

So he would always wear a turban most of the time wearing a turban, even when he was younger. You remember when I said to you that the mother of the nonmetallic would put the turban Why? Because he's going to need the scholar to go into the circle at that point. It's like going for a job interview, you dress

00:09:29--> 00:09:30

your best you wear your best.

00:09:32--> 00:09:35

You remember how he dressed when he spoke?

00:09:36--> 00:09:50

So dress here we are talking about covering our we are talking about dress as a form of communication that you are sending messages to society as to who you are and what knowledge you know.

00:09:51--> 00:09:53

The turban is very

00:09:54--> 00:09:54

important.

00:09:56--> 00:09:57

So I say this

00:09:58--> 00:09:59

in our history by the one of these

00:10:02--> 00:10:02

He said,

00:10:04--> 00:10:05

the mail

00:10:06--> 00:10:08

more respectful than the female

00:10:09--> 00:10:14

for many, many reasons, and one of the reasons he said that mail was

00:10:17--> 00:10:19

I think you might laugh, you might

00:10:21--> 00:10:24

want to go outside the hole and say I'd like

00:10:25--> 00:10:26

to give you

00:10:27--> 00:10:34

a feeling of what the turban meant. At that time as a source of power. I'm fine. Okay.

00:10:38--> 00:10:40

Well had a beautiful

00:10:49--> 00:10:50

voice.

00:11:01--> 00:11:03

If mother wanted him to be like,

00:11:11--> 00:11:13

prison, he wrote a letter to his mother.

00:11:15--> 00:11:15

Before he

00:11:17--> 00:11:19

said, Oh, my mother.

00:11:25--> 00:11:29

My sister, my mother, wished one day that I become

00:11:38--> 00:11:39

my

00:11:44--> 00:11:46

what we are talking about,

00:11:48--> 00:11:48

we are talking about.

00:11:51--> 00:11:58

We are talking about someone who had a beautiful voice. And we are talking about someone that when you hear him read,

00:12:00--> 00:12:02

you almost think

00:12:03--> 00:12:06

you must, if you heard his Alliance,

00:12:11--> 00:12:12

one of the contemporaries

00:12:39--> 00:12:40

when we want to cry,

00:12:44--> 00:12:47

drama movies, no, we when we want to remember Allah.

00:12:50--> 00:12:54

We will say to each other, look at this good companionship, we will say to each other.

00:12:56--> 00:12:58

Let's go to this young boy.

00:13:00--> 00:13:02

young boy at that time was quite young, no one knew.

00:13:04--> 00:13:06

Let's go to this young boy.

00:13:12--> 00:13:13

And when we come to him and

00:13:14--> 00:13:15

read for us,

00:13:22--> 00:13:23

begin to cry.

00:13:25--> 00:13:28

And what does the boy do? What does he do? How does he respond?

00:13:30--> 00:13:37

People are beginning to fall in love with him. by him, does he enjoy it?

00:13:40--> 00:13:41

And when he sees us,

00:13:49--> 00:13:50

he was in,

00:13:52--> 00:13:53

in Palestine

00:13:55--> 00:13:57

and 767

00:14:06--> 00:14:08

ordained that

00:14:09--> 00:14:11

the death of a great man

00:14:16--> 00:14:17

this is what I said to you there is only

00:14:20--> 00:14:20

there is always

00:14:21--> 00:14:22

that

00:14:23--> 00:14:44

the passage of time does not mean erosion of faith, that it will heal of goodness. Yes, there are problems with institutions which you with this or with that with movements with ideas with books with people, yeah, there are problems. But you never know. from the womb of all these things. You can have the birth

00:14:45--> 00:14:50

of a Savior. The Savior, however, can be a human being, or it could be a group

00:14:52--> 00:14:54

or it could be an idea.

00:14:57--> 00:14:59

It's all about reviving

00:15:01--> 00:15:16

I don't care about the form of the mageddon, I don't care about the form of the tools. What I care about is the implication, the consequence, the nature, the results of that. So he was born in Russia, and he died quite young.

00:15:17--> 00:15:20

They understood all the demands, unfortunate

00:15:22--> 00:15:22

enough

00:15:30--> 00:15:34

to live such a relatively short period of time.

00:15:39--> 00:15:41

achieve many things

00:15:42--> 00:15:43

you establish.

00:15:44--> 00:15:51

You write books, you travel, you become a point, you'll become you'll become a mechanic.

00:15:53--> 00:15:54

Just be seven years old.

00:15:58--> 00:16:02

20 years of the 57 years?

00:16:04--> 00:16:06

No, no, he died in his 40s.

00:16:07--> 00:16:10

We are you 20s and 30s. What have we done?

00:16:12--> 00:16:15

Yes, I'm a graduate. No, I'm a post graduate.

00:16:18--> 00:16:23

Aye, Aye, opposed, doctoring oppose, post post.

00:16:25--> 00:16:31

Division, I preceding my achievements in life in terms of these divisions, which are,

00:16:47--> 00:16:48

was

00:16:49--> 00:17:03

adopted, adapted to how society expected him to be. You are not officially I don't care. I still a student in mentality and attitude. I am a student.

00:17:04--> 00:17:15

taking classes would be a student, for example, but I am a student to people who knowledge. That's why I'm happy to keep senior people here with us coming to learn from people who are relatively young.

00:17:17--> 00:17:20

The ability to learn the willingness to learn,

00:17:47--> 00:17:51

his father died when he was young.

00:17:53--> 00:17:54

His father died

00:17:56--> 00:18:00

in the age of 33, died quite young.

00:18:02--> 00:18:02

That means

00:18:04--> 00:18:05

that means that his mother

00:18:07--> 00:18:22

in the 20s Now, this is why I want to focus on the mother, because we are not talking about a mother for 40 or 50. Or at the age of my mother or your mother, we are talking about ion model, we are talking about

00:18:26--> 00:18:34

the entire life before her to marry, enjoyed herself. She can do everything.

00:18:36--> 00:18:37

But she didn't.

00:18:38--> 00:18:42

My responsibility in life, my mission in life

00:18:44--> 00:18:45

is to be to do this.

00:18:48--> 00:18:56

This is what I want to do. This is my mission in life, if I can focus on detail, if I can give him all my life.

00:18:59--> 00:19:02

To me, this compensates for everything.

00:19:03--> 00:19:08

Brothers and sisters, I want to tell you that shopping would not have been better

00:19:11--> 00:19:16

if it was not because of his mother, if you take my word

00:19:17--> 00:19:19

for your future, and besides

00:19:23--> 00:19:27

all of these you should be used because you learn from them.

00:19:32--> 00:19:42

Students now look at me in terms of loyalty, but in terms of respect for their achievements, and heroism,

00:19:43--> 00:19:43

if you want to do

00:19:46--> 00:19:50

first for his mother, if you want to do email

00:19:54--> 00:19:56

if you want to do is to pop up na Malik

00:20:00--> 00:20:01

Without

00:20:04--> 00:20:05

a normal business,

00:20:08--> 00:20:12

intelligence environment, we have lots of intelligent people.

00:20:14--> 00:20:16

But that does not create

00:20:21--> 00:20:21

the future.

00:20:24--> 00:20:31

In our Malik's model, we would have ended up with a beautiful handsome spinner. But when he grows up, when he's

00:20:32--> 00:20:39

surgery, plastic surgery and his face begins to weaken, when he retires,

00:20:40--> 00:20:41

no one who said about

00:20:48--> 00:20:50

you will be shocked to know that because

00:20:52--> 00:20:53

it was other

00:20:55--> 00:20:55

things

00:20:59--> 00:20:59

that

00:21:01--> 00:21:04

as the background for this turning point,

00:21:10--> 00:21:11

model,

00:21:14--> 00:21:17

went to court as a witness.

00:21:19--> 00:21:21

And she came with a woman

00:21:22--> 00:21:22

as a witness.

00:21:24--> 00:21:27

And she came with a man. So there were three witnesses coming to witness,

00:21:30--> 00:21:33

before a judge and the judge, what he wanted to do is that,

00:21:35--> 00:21:36

like the police today, when they interrogate

00:21:38--> 00:21:40

they don't introduce suspects, for example.

00:21:41--> 00:21:41

They will,

00:21:45--> 00:21:48

and will ask you questions, and then we'll ask the same questions,

00:21:49--> 00:21:50

etc, by way of

00:21:55--> 00:21:56

the judge wanted to do the same.

00:21:57--> 00:22:01

He wanted to separate the two women from the man.

00:22:07--> 00:22:11

Then she wanted to separate the two women.

00:22:12--> 00:22:17

He wants to separate the two women for the Father. He said, You can't do that.

00:22:37--> 00:22:38

When he mentions about witnesses,

00:22:44--> 00:22:53

to female witnesses, they should be to why what's the reason for that? If one of them to make a mistake or error,

00:22:54--> 00:22:55

the other

00:22:56--> 00:23:00

that means, it means that the other is listening.

00:23:03--> 00:23:03

Of that,

00:23:05--> 00:23:07

that means that the two

00:23:08--> 00:23:09

have to be together?

00:23:10--> 00:23:11

No.

00:23:13--> 00:23:16

I asked you, have you ever felt

00:23:17--> 00:23:18

this way?

00:23:19--> 00:23:23

We are talking about we are talking about the simple,

00:23:24--> 00:24:00

easy to choose? What kinds of people were brought out by this decide what kind of society what kinds of values, what kinds of ideas? What is the system, we are talking about the society that when people want to remind each other when they want to cry, they go to a young boy to listen to him. We are talking about a mother that is stable, and courageous, to stay to the judge who has to be tough. And she has the courage to say to him, Look, you are wrong. You can't do that. We are talking about a witness that is thinking that is contemplating

00:24:01--> 00:24:07

every word that I just mentioned, and looking out for any errors and is able to provide the evidence

00:24:10--> 00:24:13

of the situation. Let's say I think Allah

00:24:16--> 00:24:17

Allah

00:24:24--> 00:24:25

just says,

00:24:27--> 00:24:29

Who knows, you know better. I am the judge

00:24:33--> 00:24:35

in conjunction with a female

00:24:40--> 00:24:42

household for a great person, such as

00:24:45--> 00:24:50

cooking and rubbing his head and saying Mashallah often I would care about you

00:24:51--> 00:24:55

know, in addition to that, she was providing substance.

00:24:57--> 00:24:57

She was guiding

00:25:01--> 00:25:01

So what can you tell me

00:25:03--> 00:25:05

that when the father died,

00:25:07--> 00:25:08

he decided to leave

00:25:09--> 00:25:09

the

00:25:12--> 00:25:13

company, what are you doing?

00:25:16--> 00:25:16

Why?

00:25:18--> 00:25:20

What reason I want to maintain

00:25:24--> 00:25:25

the Hashemite Kingdom is

00:25:26--> 00:25:27

because

00:25:29--> 00:25:29

he lost

00:25:32--> 00:25:34

his relatives and he stays with his relatives.

00:25:43--> 00:25:44

I wanted to learn as

00:25:46--> 00:25:46

in Victor

00:25:48--> 00:25:49

is the center of learning.

00:25:51--> 00:25:52

He traveled all the way from

00:25:53--> 00:25:54

Palestine.

00:25:58--> 00:26:07

That today, when we begin our history, with Mecca, Medina, we have to begin with human suffering in Palestine,

00:26:08--> 00:26:19

to zoom the camera on the role of the Mother, don't neglect this role. From beginning begin the book with chapter two, chapter one, and in chapter one, there is no suffering, there is the model.

00:26:20--> 00:26:22

The model goes alongside.

00:26:24--> 00:26:25

But behind the curtains.

00:26:30--> 00:26:31

Yes, the camera.

00:26:33--> 00:26:44

The camera, we see through the camera. So the camera like now the camera is focusing on me, here someone is bluffing someone is keeping something all

00:26:49--> 00:26:51

the seminar showing a treat because I'm doing this

00:26:53--> 00:26:57

with the same with the same the camera is moving. But

00:27:01--> 00:27:07

what I hope to do is to shift the camera to these people. Because to me, they are very real.

00:27:09--> 00:27:13

To me to tell you that go back home and take care of your mother and father

00:27:15--> 00:27:21

and daughter, see you say to me, my mother passed away, then when you get married, make sure

00:27:22--> 00:27:24

that you are a decent mother.

00:27:25--> 00:27:26

You

00:27:27--> 00:27:30

not just to work as a dancer.

00:27:31--> 00:27:33

But to be interesting.

00:27:36--> 00:27:39

to revive itself, it doesn't have to be for you.

00:27:42--> 00:27:42

But at least

00:27:44--> 00:27:50

dedicate your life to him. Don't make him watch Telly topics and ignore ignore him.

00:27:51--> 00:27:55

ignore your sources. This is very important.

00:27:57--> 00:27:58

We are talking about

00:28:01--> 00:28:02

once to

00:28:04--> 00:28:04

know

00:28:05--> 00:28:07

which was the customer at that time

00:28:08--> 00:28:13

that you that you teach. This was like today's

00:28:14--> 00:28:19

custom when you send your children to the nursery to learn English.

00:28:21--> 00:28:24

to mingle with the rest of the children at that time.

00:28:25--> 00:28:29

It was the first symbol to send their children to the site

00:28:31--> 00:28:32

to learn how to write Arabic

00:28:34--> 00:28:34

and

00:28:35--> 00:28:37

expectedly to become powerful.

00:28:39--> 00:28:43

And that was the mission. That was the plan. I'm traveling all the way from Palestine to Mecca,

00:28:44--> 00:29:00

summer or winter resorts. But as a mission of Serbia and mission to make my son a decent boy, he could have stayed in Palestine. She could have neglected her child, she could have remarried

00:29:02--> 00:29:08

another man who would abuse or beat up suffering and make him sick of his life.

00:29:10--> 00:29:19

This would have happened. Of course this could have not happened. And she could have married to a nice guy who would have cared more for the company

00:29:22--> 00:29:25

to rationalize what's going next.

00:29:30--> 00:29:31

Let's go to the positive.

00:29:33--> 00:29:36

The positive reality was that he went to describe

00:29:38--> 00:29:47

what you didn't have the financial means you didn't have the money to give to someone to give to the future.

00:29:49--> 00:29:59

Time and remember, they were not funded by the state. They were independent scholars. So you would open your own Skype or your own capacity with the children health

00:30:00--> 00:30:03

To write and how to become a monana. These days,

00:30:05--> 00:30:07

every boy would come and he would take

00:30:09--> 00:30:09

some

00:30:11--> 00:30:11

symbolic

00:30:15--> 00:30:15

a sharpie.

00:30:17--> 00:30:19

And here you see, if you want to

00:30:21--> 00:30:33

understand history in western terms, you have no guessing from outside the private sphere of the household to the public sphere and meeting with the teacher, or the teacher holding hands with

00:30:34--> 00:30:34

him.

00:30:37--> 00:30:43

Like to petition but there's only one problem is that I don't have the financial means, by way of

00:30:46--> 00:30:51

negotiating, the mother is in the public sphere, performing a public role in

00:30:53--> 00:30:53

a son.

00:30:54--> 00:30:55

Mr. Lim?

00:30:58--> 00:31:00

Why? Because he's.

00:31:03--> 00:31:03

So

00:31:06--> 00:31:08

he would say, Fine, I will take him.

00:31:11--> 00:31:17

During my absence, that's when I'm outside of the club. He's in charge of the club.

00:31:22--> 00:31:27

In this moment, with the society gives an opportunity to children

00:31:28--> 00:31:29

to prove themselves

00:31:32--> 00:31:33

to articulate

00:31:35--> 00:31:38

it's not oppression, it's not that you are too young.

00:31:40--> 00:31:42

You're too young to administer, no no

00:31:44--> 00:31:44

capability

00:31:46--> 00:31:46

is present.

00:31:50--> 00:31:50

You

00:31:52--> 00:31:52

charge

00:31:55--> 00:31:57

in compensation for the fees,

00:32:10--> 00:32:11

the mowlana

00:32:13--> 00:32:20

in the Indian subcontinent, and in Manchester, Birmingham, in the bathroom, they do not

00:32:21--> 00:32:28

please old children, who are five years old, or 10 years old, you're 11 years old, even

00:32:29--> 00:32:30

here in the West,

00:32:31--> 00:32:32

undergraduate

00:32:33--> 00:32:36

students 18. And then

00:32:37--> 00:32:44

there were different ages. So this was quite healthy, I think that I am testing with

00:32:46--> 00:32:49

senior placeholder, he would benefit from

00:32:51--> 00:32:58

different ages, because they are unified according to the age according to the target of what they want to learn.

00:32:59--> 00:33:03

So that means that not everyone learns the same sort of

00:33:10--> 00:33:12

quite a senior boy for example.

00:33:16--> 00:33:21

We have here among the people, a gifted person, seven years old,

00:33:22--> 00:33:25

sitting in class, being able

00:33:26--> 00:33:27

to hear out

00:33:30--> 00:33:40

every boy, a different verse, and he is able to memorize every verse uttered by the Muslim

00:33:45--> 00:33:50

is not a genius, then what you have here is the person no one knows about yet.

00:33:52--> 00:33:52

Know

00:33:54--> 00:33:59

the beauty of it is that society recognize that we have a lot of different people here.

00:34:02--> 00:34:08

But I know of people that deviated because society, a Muslim society that is does not care about them.

00:34:09--> 00:34:16

They fade laindon they marginalize them, they ostracize them, they demonize them, he's a rebel.

00:34:18--> 00:34:20

But in the case of epiphanies, and remember

00:34:21--> 00:34:25

our talks, remember the case of remember now

00:34:29--> 00:34:36

we have a society that is able to discover and allow an income. Why am I saying this? Because

00:34:39--> 00:34:40

he has a gift

00:34:45--> 00:34:59

for me to take any money from you know, a question of him being in charge of the class. The composition of pain. No, it's now a matter of honor and pleasure.

00:35:00--> 00:35:01

The necessity to have

00:35:12--> 00:35:13

to learn

00:35:18--> 00:35:19

and bear in mind,

00:35:20--> 00:35:26

all learning, it wasn't an organizer or a laptop or a computer, because

00:35:27--> 00:35:35

the ears are very important, the mind is very important for education, all these things are very important. You might say to me today

00:35:38--> 00:35:44

I can get it on CD fine, but where do you get the distinction from where do you get the patience, this is

00:35:45--> 00:35:48

this has to be provided to you, you have to get

00:35:50--> 00:35:50

you have to attain

00:35:52--> 00:35:52

patient

00:35:53--> 00:35:54

education,

00:35:56--> 00:36:01

devotion, piety, all these things. And this is why I say to you that

00:36:08--> 00:36:10

this is something I should have mentioned before.

00:36:12--> 00:36:13

What you realize when you read the Bible

00:36:15--> 00:36:24

is that the biography is written by the students. And it is all geared towards trying to prove to the reader how magnificent

00:36:26--> 00:36:31

that person was. So, you want to do that? What do you do? You focus on the weapons of

00:36:33--> 00:36:33

delivery?

00:36:36--> 00:36:48

Very powerful memory, honesty, etc. It's like writing a biography of a medical doctor, what do you focus on? You focus on how articulate and how detailed

00:36:50--> 00:37:00

the problem with the new generation today when they read these books, they become frustrated? You know why? Because these, they begin to think that

00:37:01--> 00:37:04

these are the weapons that I need to be like,

00:37:07--> 00:37:11

No, these are the weapons that you need to become a puppy.

00:37:12--> 00:37:22

But you don't want to become a puppy. So what do I do with these weapons, you have to redefine the weapon, you have to understand how do these weapons.

00:37:23--> 00:37:48

So you might not have a powerful memory, it doesn't matter. What matters is what underlies the powerful memories, what does underlie the powerful memory, dedication. These are the new weapons that you have to focus on. Otherwise, they would like to see the public view. This is the life of people in the human dimension.

00:37:50--> 00:37:51

Because if I engage,

00:37:52--> 00:37:56

I'm going to tell you that you've had powerful memories, these people have traveled,

00:37:57--> 00:37:58

traveled a lot.

00:38:01--> 00:38:05

I don't have to travel if you want to compensate enough.

00:38:06--> 00:38:14

But try to understand the context of these things and see what fits you in terms of stability.

00:38:30--> 00:38:31

Can you memorize

00:38:34--> 00:38:36

in nine days on water

00:38:39--> 00:38:40

memorized

00:38:43--> 00:38:44

when he was seven

00:38:46--> 00:38:48

doesn't mean anything at that time.

00:38:50--> 00:38:55

At that time, you ought to be knowing 1000s of at that time.

00:38:56--> 00:38:57

So

00:38:58--> 00:39:03

are you saying that something wasn't special when he began?

00:39:04--> 00:39:04

And knowing that?

00:39:07--> 00:39:07

I say yes.

00:39:09--> 00:39:11

If he continued to bargain,

00:39:15--> 00:39:19

he would not have been so special. So you have to do something extra.

00:39:22--> 00:39:24

You have to go

00:39:25--> 00:39:26

and pursue knowledge.

00:39:28--> 00:39:36

He has to go and do something beyond what his classmates do. So after class, His classmates would go and play

00:39:40--> 00:39:41

football they would play football.

00:39:43--> 00:39:43

Oh they would.

00:39:47--> 00:39:49

Or they would go home and sleep

00:39:50--> 00:39:51

to wake up in the night

00:39:54--> 00:39:55

and they were

00:39:56--> 00:39:57

to go to bed early.
